"...Scena Theatre is presenting the American premiere of Fosse’s “Someone Is Going to Come,” and though Scena head Robert McNamara’s production is extremely well acted, the minimalist pattern of paranoia and jealousy drew nervous laughter from Monday’s opening night crowd at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. A man and woman (identified only as He and She) have trekked to a remote cottage by the sea so they can be alone. Alone, but together."

"...Directed with an arresting, coolly economical touch by Scena Founder and Artistic Director Robert McNamara, Someone is Going to Come packs an enormous amount of incisive observations into its 75 minutes. Making it such a quietly unsettling theater experience are the meticulously incisive performances by seasoned actors David Bryan Jackson, Nanna Ingvarsson, and Joseph Carlson."

"...The production is strengthened by its strategic use of set, lighting and the theatre itself. The small venue assists in the trapped, claustrophobic feeling that begins to overwhelm the couple, while the set designed by Michael C. Stepowany is laid bare in certain places, mirroring the inability of the characters to hide from their pasts. The lighting designed by Marianne Meadows effectively conveys the passing of time and the music that plays before and after adds to the eerie ambiance that lingers over the events (Sound Design by Denise Rose). Costumes were effectively designed by Alisa Mandel."

"...The piece felt like a psychological portrait of a love relationship, one where the two people have known each other a long time and where roles shift as subtle needs of one are telepathically telegraphed to the other. The desire to be alone with one's lover and off the radar with the chance for intimate abandonment is suddenly replaced by the feeling of claustrophobia, even terror."
